Mercedes ML250 CDI BlueTec Sport (2012) CAR review

Anthony ffrench-Constant, 03 May 2012 05:28

Mercedes updated its M-class SUV in 2011, offering a fresh take on its Alabama-built 4x4 with new platform, styling and notably-downsized powertrains. Have they leapt to the head of the premium SUV class with the latest edition? Anthony ffrench-Constant evaluates the four-cylinder diesel ML250 Bluetec Sport to find out... Mercedes ML250 first impressions: Computer says no Speed Limit Assist? No thank ...

Audi A6 Allroad (2012) CAR review

Steve Moody, 03 April 2012 08:46

The new 2012 Audi A6 Allroad is an unusual brew of contradictions and adaptations. On the one hand, this model, now in its third iteration, is a darling of the Middle England red-trousered brigade, that most conservative of social sets. Yet it is effectively a blinged-up A6 Avant, with chrome plastered everywhere (hardly the best material for off-road work), hung ...

Porsche Cayenne Diesel (2011) CAR review

3.5

Tim Pollard, 16 August 2011 09:00

The Cayenne is the Porsche we all loved to hate. But is the Cayenne SUV now firmly accepted in the Porsche firmamentr? After all, most now understand the well worn argument that it funds the sports cars we all love. Porsche has built twice as many 4x4s as any other single model line so far this year, for crying out loud. So ...

Mercedes CLS350 CDI BlueEfficiency (2011) CAR review

Jethro Bovingdon, 31 May 2011 12:00

Mercedes-Benz is rightly proud of the outgoing CLS and the market for ‘four-door coupes’ that it pioneered. That car was a real shock when it was unveiled, a radical departure not just from the E class, but the entire Benz range. Some people hated it, but that was kind of the point. And those who loved it really, really loved ...

Infiniti M30d GT Premium (2010) CAR review

Stephen Worthy, 22 November 2010 10:43

A couple of months after we first drove the new petrol-powered Infiniti M37, CAR has spent some time with the version that is expected to account for 55% of European sales for Infiniti’s executive saloon: the new M30d diesel. Only 55% of Infiniti M sales? That few? Sounds on the conservative side, doesn’t it? Especially as the only other version ...

BMW 530d SE Gran Turismo (2009) CAR review

3.5

Phil McNamara, 09 September 2009 14:00

BMW’s pursuit of niches barely visible to the naked eye continues with the 5-series Gran Turismo. Based on 7-series mechanicals and sharing all its gadgets, the 5 GT is a high-roofed hatchback, with lots of space for rear passengers and their luggage. BMW says it mixes the rear legroom of a 7-series with an SUV’s more commanding seating position and ...

VW Phaeton 3.0 V6 TDI (2008) CAR review

2.5

Glen Waddington, 19 May 2008 12:16

The Volkswagen Phaeton is overshadowed by the Audi A8 as VAG’s luxury car and, for some, that could be its allure. If you’re interested in space and comfort more than style and glamour, the Volkswagen Phaeton would save you nearly £8000. So tell me, is the Volkswagen Phaeton as dull as it looks? Fair enough, it’s not going to set ...

Mercedes CLS320 CDI facelift (2008) CAR review

2.5

Chris Chilton, 24 April 2008 10:01

It’s facelift time for Merc’s banana-shaped CLS, a coupe/saloon crossover based on the dull old E-class. It hasn’t been around for long so there are no big changes for this mid-life refresh, just minor cosmetic tweaks to keep it looking contemporary in a line-up of newer Benz products. So guide me through the headline stuff for the Mercedes CLS320 CDI ...

Mercedes E300 Bluetec (2008) by Brabus CAR review

3.5

Dan Trent, 16 April 2008 13:21

You know the green bandwagon has gathered momentum when a horsepower hungry tuner like Brabus turns its attention to eco-friendly models like the Mercedes E300 Bluetec. Coming from a company better known for big-cube, bonkers bhp engine conversions this may be a surprise, but in fact diesel tuning has become a huge part of Brabus’s business. The Bluetec exhaust treatment ...

Jaguar XJ 2.7 TDVi (2007) CAR review

3.5

Chris Chilton, 04 May 2007 11:57

New. In what sense exactly? Okay, so neither you, I nor Jaguar is under any illusion that the ‘real’ new XJ can’t come soon enough. Current Jag execs admit that the decision to stick with retro design was a mistake and that the next car will look much more modern, taking cues from the C-XF concept. But that car won’t ...
